Hi,
I can upload an animated webP image to Content/Files.
When embedding this file and viewing it through the web browser Shopify serves and displays an animated gif version it created without me asking it to. The original animated webP image works perfectly fine in all major browsers and I do not want Shopify to convert anything… Just use the file I uploaded.
For example, I have a file called snacking-anim.webp which is just 353kb
When I upload this file to Shopify, either in the assets folder or Content/Files it creates a gif version called snacking-anim.webp.gif file which is 2.7MB and look significantly worse!
Here are links to both images so you can see the difference.

I want to use the original file I upload. I don’t want Shopify to touch it or create a different version I did not ask for. I realise I can upload the files to a location other than Shopify but then I won’t be able to take advantage of Shopify’s CDN.
Has anyone had this issue?
Thank you!
